Miss Yvonne Ryzewski is with the scholars in the playspace area at JCS Mountain Oaks. She was born and raised in Chicago, spent about 10 years in New York City, and earned her Bachelor’s degree from Tulane University in New Orleans before settling in her dream home of San Diego. She knew from the time she visited as a young girl that this would be her home.

Miss Yvonne has a son who just started Kindergarten at Cedar Cove and is loving the experience. Learning about and accepting her position at Mountain Oaks has been an incredible blessing for her family. With previous experience teaching students in various environments, from the classroom to a WWII ship, she eagerly embraced the opportunity to be part of the JCSMO family. She looks forward to each day, working to create an environment that is optimal for learning and growth. Miss Yvonne strives to create a space where scholars feel safe, have fun, and develop creativity, innovation, teamwork, and new skills.

Outside of school, Miss Yvonne enjoys simply being outdoors, feeling blessed to live in a place where outdoor activities are accessible nearly every day. She loves walking by the ocean, picnicking in parks, and exploring the vast nature within hours of reach. She cherishes spending time with family, whether in church, venturing to new places, exploring new cultures, attending games, or simply enjoying meals together. She feels there is so much to be grateful for.

Miss Yvonne is grateful for the opportunity to spend time with the children at JCSMO and aims to nurture their love for learning.
